Director of Policy Influence and Public Affairs

We have created two new roles in our Senior Leadership Team; Director of Services and Evidence, and Director of Policy Influence and Public Affairs. This is a really exciting time to join us as we shape our future direction.

Director of Policy Influence and Public Affairs

Leading our Policy, Influence & Public Affairs Directorate, you will lead on the strategy and inspire the teams delivering policy, advocacy, and public affairs. You will also lead on campaigns and influence policy changes, to achieve improvements in the quality of life of those affected by Crohn's and Colitis. You will help to identify, engage, and collaborate with diverse stakeholders to form alliances and partnerships that drive change.

We are seeking an individual with a proven ability to influence policy and public affairs at a senior level. We are looking for a leader with the ability to navigate complex systems and a strategic mindset.

We have ambitious plans at Crohn's & Colitis UK, and our two new Directors will join a skilled Senior Leadership Team as we develop our bold new strategy and continue to raise awareness, end taboos, and ensure that everyone living with Crohn's or Colitis feels seen, heard and understood.

We are the UK's leading charity for Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, the two main forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. These are lifelong conditions for which there is no cure, and they affect more than 540,000 people in the UK.

Many people with Crohn's and Colitis are trying to navigate complex health issues alone, while struggling to access quality healthcare and support.

As a charity, we have been involved in funding exciting and ground-breaking research into Crohn's and Colitis, and we continue to work tirelessly to improve the lives of the people who look to us for support.
